Since I was camped nearby I stopped into the Macon County Recorder of Deeds office and did a little research. I was hoping to find Eva & John Swinney as "grantees" in a deed that documented their former residence as Saline Co., Illinois. However, I learned from the deeds above that their previous residence was in Shelby County, Illinois. If I wanted to find a document with them in Saline County, Shelby Co. was probably the place to find it (unless there were other moves in between). After living in Macon Co., Eva & John Swinney moved to Mount Pulaski, Logan Co., Illinois, where they died. [Eva was my great-grandmother's sister]
